AS FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO LOST THEIR HOME, THEY'RE GETTING HELP FROM THE RED CROSS. THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES ONE DAY AFTER TO A DIVER WAS KILLED ON THE FIRST DAY OF LOBSTER MINI SEASON. 22-YEAR-OLD JOEY GROSSO LOST HIS LIFE WHILE SCUBA DIVING OFF THE HILLSBORO INLET AND AS TODD TONGEN FOUND OUT, IT'S A TRAGIC REMINDER THAT THE SPORT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS EVEN FOR EXPERIENCED DIVERS. Reporter: AS THE LOBSTER MINI SEASON ROLLS ON UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, THE DIVE COMMUNITY IS DEALING WITH THE TRAGIC DEATH OF 22-YEAR-OLD JOEY GROSSO, THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL STANDOUT AND AVID SCUBA DIVER LOST HIS LIFE YESTERDAY WHILE DYING FOR LOBSTER ABOVE THE PROFESSIONAL DIE OF BOAT SCUBA TIME. THE DRIVER WOULDN'T COMMENT AND THE DEATH INVESTIGATION CONTINUES BUT THE BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAID THE GROUP HAD JUST AM COULD BACK FROM A DIVE WHEN GROSSO DECIDED TO REEMERGE ALONE. THE STAFF RILED HE HAD NOT RESURFACED AND BEGAN SEARCHING FOR HIM. HE WAS FOUND UNRESPONSIVE. THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A DIVE BUDDY IS FOR SAFETY. Reporter: BRIAN TINSEY WITH DIVERS COVE HAS BEEN A DIVE INSTRUCTOR FOR OVER A DECADE. HE SAID DIVING SOLO IS DANGEROUS FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS WITH ESPECIALLY IF YOU RUN OUT OF AIR. YOU TURN ON YOUR BUD WEB GIVE THEM AN OUT OF AIR SIGN AND THEY'LL GIVE YOU AIR TO BREATHE ALLOWING TO YOU COME UP IN A SAFE MANNER. Reporter: AND GOING DOWN BUT A FULL TOPPED OFF TANK CAN ALSO PUT AUTO RISK. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH AIR HE HAD BUT TYPICALLY FOR LOBSTERING, ESPECIALLY DURING LOBSTER MINI SEASON, DIVERS LIKE TO PUSH UP TO WHAT THEIR LIMIT IS ON THEIR TANKS, SO THEY'RE COMING UP WITH A FAIRLY USED TANK. Reporter: NOSE DIVE INSTRUCTORS AND DIVE CHART LERS NOT LET YOU DIVE WITHOUT A DIVE BUD WEB BUT IF YOU DO HAVE A SOLO DIVE CERTIFICATION YOU'RE REQUIRED TO NOT ONLY HAVE YOUR PRIMARY TANK BUT YOU HAVE TO DIVE WITH A SECONDARY AIR SOURCE LIKE THIS PONY TANK. B.S.O. SAID JOEY GROSSO DID NOT HAVE AIR TANK. IT'S PROBABLY TOO LATE. DAVE HE LAST PANE DIVING FOR 20 YEARS. HE SAID EVEN AN EXPERIENCED DIVER CAN MAKE A MISTAKE. WOULD YOU EVER GO DOWN BY YOURSELF? I DON'T MACK IT A PRACTICE. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY I NEVER
